Given that FTX spectacularly dwindled to nothingness within a few days and Crypto (dot) com is currently undergoing its trial by fire, the crypto space seems to be shrouded with a crisis of confidence these days. But I am but a small-time hustler, so these developments don’t affect me.

What is dominating my headspace these days is getting enough referrals for Pipeflare, a faucet-cum-gaming site that allows me to collect Zcash and MATIC every day. Zcash has the status of a shitcoin and may never rise to the big leagues of BTC and ETH, but thanks to my referrals, it is a regular source of monthly passive income. I get at least $1 worth of Zcash delivered directly to my Gemini account every month (upon which I promptly convert to BTC - but there’s another story for another day) and am keen to cultivate this budding money pot.

Turns out that two kind strangers made use of my referral link (https://pipeflare.io/r/dba7) in November. Two or three more referrals and I may ascend to the Top Ten and get more rewards. Which explains why I’m taking a shot in the dark by soliciting more referrals here. But hey, as a popular saying goes, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
